Swindon Town v Crewe Alexandra pre match chat and matchday thread

Odd half that. Not causing them enough problems, very adept at causing our own though.

Been plenty of times this season where we have been much better after half time. Hopefully another one of those today.

Same old every single week. We just haven’t got enough creativity to create chances. Without Williams we’re even less creative than usual. There are no through balls to our strikers, everything is to feet. Jephcott and Wakeling don’t link up together at all. The only outlet is Hutton, there are literally no other methods of creating anything. Fucking awful and the same every week.

If Crewe score early doors I’m off home. Fucking cold, on my own today and have a pain my shoulder which is shooting down my back and pulling on my neck. All in all a miserable afternoon at the theatre of despair.

Streaming problems meant I saw Darcy's moment of madness, the penalty, and Then Iandolo heading wide before the ref blew for 1/2 time! Guess I was saved the shite between looking at comments!!!

I'll use my Twitter summary

Played ok but other than crosses from Hutton, 90% not really causing issue, we've no real attacking pattern. No danger. Same old.

Penalty harsh .

Like Baudry but he's positionally suspect in this system

I wouldn’t go as far to call it shite.

It’s just not threatening enough.
For all of Huttons crossed we aren’t getting enough on the end of them and troubling the keeper. I’d like to see some smashed in hard and low as I’d fancy Jephcott or Wakeling to get a foot on it more so than a head…

Oh its not shit by any means its just lacking in any killer edge, we have controlled 90% of that half but our chance creation seems poor, Hutton gets crosses in but Jephcott doesnt attack the near post enough for it to be a good opporunity for us. Otherwise we are always looking for one extra pass before it goes into the box allowing Crewe to get more players behind the ball and snuffing us out.

Concur. When we have the ball it’s very controlled and comfortable. Final ball just not dangerous enough.

How do we change it though? Adeloye? Roberts? It’s the approach or emphasis that needs to change - not different personnel playing the same way.

[Nomoreheroes]

Hopefully I get to see some of the second half!

Roberts for Iandolo and go 433. Maybe get Reed on for Khan too.

[Nemo]

I'd bring on Adeloye. He's shown nothing so far, but he's the right profile of player for this game. Let him prove whether he has a future here.

[Nemo]

Oh Ellis.

[Peter Venkman]

FFS Iandolo.

[Red Frog]

I won’t bore you again with my views on Iandolo.
